Documentary evidence of purchase, holding and sale of listed shares, including contract notes, demat records and bank statements, was sufficient to discharge the initial onus of genuineness. General investigation-wing material on alleged penny stock accommodation entries could not sustain an addition under section 68 without independent inquiry or specific adverse evidence linking the assessee or broker to price manipulation.
